In his lengthy career, Gorrister the Great has been a pirate, a privateer, a mercenary and a bandit. On the frontier, men like this are useful if properly motivated. Gorrister and his small army of cutthroats have spent the last few years engaged in typical adventuring activities. Clearing dungeons, slaughtering fantasy creatures, and generally making the frontier safe for development by the Commonwealth’s state granted trading monopoly.

Gorrister was recently summoned to the colonial capitol of Brazenkragg to answer allegations that his mercenary band was massacring Elves from the See of Trees and sun-drying their ears, in order to claim bounties on various other pointy eared beings the Trade Wardens wanted massacred. When he failed to answer the summons, he was declared an outlaw.

The Trade Wardens of the colonial capitol of Brazenkragg have issued a bounty of 15,000 silver coins for Gorrister’s body, or unambiguous proof that it was destroyed beyond possibility of resurrection. Warden Sump, himself a criminal mastermind, has offered 30,000 to subdue Gorrister and bring him back alive.

Which takes us to the present day. You’ve tracked Gorrister to the DeCavalier estate in the mountains. You know he traveled here and entered the ruins alone. Whatever he’s looking for, he doesn’t want to share it.

DeCavalier was one of the old families from the Monarchy. Their estate was part of the first, failed colonization attempt in the region. Nobody knows why the old colony failed, or who’s occupying the site now.

It’s two days travel through the mountains to the nearest village, and you don’t want to return empty handed. Get Gorrister, get whatever he’s searching for, or just get rich pillaging the dungeons beneath the estate.

This is a One-Shot Adventure for Begone, FOE! a lightweight indie dungeoncrawling game.

This game will be beginner-friendly, players only need to bring pencils and dice.

Character Creation will be done at the table.

The event will be hosted in a rented private conference room, Players may bring their own food/beverage but are expected to be respectful of the space and clean up after themselves.

Feel free to sign-up even if it puts you on the Waitlist, in my expierence there's usually two or three people who drop-out before the start of the event, usually at the eleventh-hour, and I prefer to have a full table over empty slots.

If you need to cancel your RSVP within 90 minutes before Start Time or are going to be running late, message me over Discord.

Safety Tools: X-Card

You’ve lived a sinner’s life. Now you’ve died a sinner’s death. Cruel,
cruel fate has cast you down to the wretched belly of the earth. As
your soul is mired with the burdens of your lived life, you begin
to sink deeper, drowning. But before you give up, you’re fished
from the briny depths of Hell’s oceans. A figure stands above you,
and reaches down a knotted hand. As you cough and sputter the
saltwater from your lungs, the figure calls himself your captain,
and explains the deal. Here upon the seas of Hell, a hellwhale is said
to be so unholy that slaying such a beast can earn you a place back
in God’s grace. And the captain has somethin’ that’ll help find one,
but he needs a crew. That’s you.

HELLWHALERS is an original TTRPG of both nautical and Christian-religious horror. Play as damned whalers, sailing hell's oceans to hunt a monstrous leviathan whale in a bid for redemption of your immortal souls.

Whalers will earn souls through roleplay, challenges, and gambling, eventually collecting enough to pulse the Hellwhale's disembodied heart, a blackened, grisly organ kept locked away by the captain. To pulse the heart is to summon the monster you seek: the dreaded Hellwhale. Slaying this titan of Hell's waters is said to earn you a place back in God's graces.

CW: Religious horror, gambling, deep water, violence, animal cruelty, body horror, trauma, self harm, references to suicide and other, similar themes are present in the text. We will implement lines and veils and an X card

I’m looking for 2-3 members to join a group of 4 chill people (myself included 🙂) for a homebrewed campaign I’ll be GM’ing using Unlimited Dungeon.

Unlimited Dungeon runs on PbtA and is a narrative focused fantasy ttrpg that only requires 2d6, a character sheet + writing utensil, and an active imagination!

We’re located near Maple Valley and we plan on meeting every other week at my place.

We’ll start with a session zero and then, if we have time, we’ll do a short tutorial so you can see how Unlimited Dungeon works in practice.

If you’re interested or have any question don’t hesitate to reach out! I can also send the rules and character sheets to you over discord if you want to check them out. You can reach me at garensol
